Unit is a class that helps to define SKUs (Stock Keeping Units). At this moment, it just is a placeholder for a unit name, providing some standard static Unit types. We could provide extensions of this class allowing to calculate weight or volume of products, based on the density of the product. It could also provide some basic measures to translate the number of units from one Unit class to the other.
